3.7.5. Engine Control Unit

Injectors shall be controlled and monitored by an ECU. Engine Control Unit (ECU) is an electronic device, used to control the start of injection and duration of injection of EUI system as per speed and load condition of the engine. ECU generates analog and digital signals which are used to indicate the engine’s operating states but can also serve other purposes and functions. Communication with other units is established via a serial interface and CAN bus protocols. Through a second CAN interface the system communicates with other control systems as well as with diagnostics and monitoring systems. The combination of electronic regulation, governing and monitoring provided by the above components permits to create an engine management system which allows further optimization of the system as a whole.

The ECU should be capable of rapid current energization and de-energization, rise time measurement and fuel calibration. ECU is required for 16 cylinder engine. The injector response time is defined by the change in injector solenoid inductance from open gap to closed gap at valve closure and must be detectable and measurable by the ECU. The response time should fall within the range of 1.12 to 1.54 milliseconds.

ECU is to be fitted in the driver’s cab or any other suitable location on the locomotive, the ECU is to be designed for the temperature range of 00C to 105 0C.

Power supply available on the locomotive is 74 V DC, if operating voltage of the ECU is different from this voltage, necessary step-up/step-down device will be the part of the supply.

Functional requirements of the ECU

Variable Injection Timing - ECU should be capable to run the engine on notch-wise variable injection timing as programmed in the map.

Start Quantity Adjustment - For setting start quantity, minimum start quantity or maximum start quantity may alternatively be selected. Furthermore variable start quantity should be provided, by which start quantity is automatically Page 7 of 22

Draft Specification No. TS/ED/2012/65 increased during start-up.

Speed Ramps - According to the requirement, speed ramps may be programmed for increasing or decreasing the speed. In addition, a separate speed ramp may be provided for start-up which may make the engine ramp slowly to operating speed after starting.

Variable Set point Adjustment - The set point can be adjusted analogously by voltage or by current. By means of digital switch inputs, it is possible to change over to fixed speed or to digital synchronizing with speed increase/decrease or to 4-bit control for 16 velocity stages. Change over between the different set point adjustments is possible.

Correction of PID Parameters - To optimize the dynamics of every operating point, the PID parameters may be corrected independently of speed, temperature and load by means of freely programmable stability maps.

Speed Dependent Quantity Limitation - It should be possible to program quantity limitation curves independent of speed so that for all speeds there can be torque reduction as is admissible for the engine or desired by the user.

Over Speed Protection - ECU should be capable to stop the engine, if rpm of the engine goes beyond the predefined engine rpm limit.

Cylinder Equalization by means of Exhaust Gas Temperature Equalization of cylinder output should be implemented by means of exhaust gas temperature. Exhaust gas temperature is here used as an indicator for cylinder power. Equalization of cylinder temperature aims at equalizing power output of the cylinder. To this purpose exhaust gas temperature of each cylinder should be reported to the ECU. ECU can calculate the average value of the cylinder temperature and correct it by increasing the fuel quantity of the particular cylinder, if found less than the average value.

Boost Pressure Dependent Quantity Limitation In the locomotive engine, fueling should be reduced to achieve smokeless operation whenever there is low boost pressure in respect to engine notch. The respective limit curves can be programmed accordingly.

Temperature Dependent Idling Speed and Quantity Limitation At low temperature, the engine can be run at some higher idling speed. With the engine warming up, idling speed is reduced to its normal value. It should be possible to program quantity limitation curves independent of temperature so that for every temperature there will be torque reduction available as is admissible for the engine or desired by the user.

Map Controlled Start of Injection

Page 8 of 22

Draft Specification No. TS/ED/2012/65

Start of injection and duration of injection can be programmed by means of characteristic maps. In addition, there is a tuning option on a per cylinder basis. Thereby, optimization of fuel consumption and emission level of the engine is possible.

Oil Pressure Monitoring For the purpose of oil pressure monitoring, speed/pressure dependent limit curves should be provided. If oil pressure is low, an alarm is issued, if oil pressure continues to drop, the engine should be shut down.

Sensor Monitoring If a sensor is faulty, an alarm should be issued and there will be a changeover to emergency operation or an engine shutdown.

Interfacing of ECU with Test Commander of EMD engine (AVL PUMA OPEN)

In the present Mechanical Unit Injector (MUI) system, two fuel control shafts are actuated by the engine actuator using servo motor drives. These control shafts control the rotational movement of the plungers of the MUIs. This rotates the helix of the MUI plunger and changes the effective stroke and delivered fuel quantity. The PUMA OPEN operating system of the test bed controls the engine load by hydraulic dynamometer and speed control through fuel rack.

In the EUI system, fuel delivery of the EUIs will be controlled by ECU through solenoids of the EUIs and feedback from the various sensors i.e., speed and position, lube oil pressure, boost air pressure and engine water temperature etc. will be monitored by the ECU. ECU will be connected to the PC/laptop for controlling/optimizing the important parameters of the engine. An interfacing device will be required to interface the ECU of EUI system to the test commander AVL PUMA OPEN of the test bed.

The block diagram of the interfacing of ECU with test commander AVL PUMA OPEN is shown below-

Draft Specification No. TS/ED/2012/65

Present Interfacing of microprocessor control system of EMD locomotives with engine governor

At present, the engine governing on EMD locomotives is carried out by Woodward, Siemens or EMD make governors. The basic function of the governor is to control the speed of the engine, based on throttle handle position (notch). The secondary function is to control the load on the engine electrically, through an interface with the Microprocessor Based Control System (MBCS). This maintains a preset constant horsepower at each notch position. In addition to these functions, the governor functionalities also include air manifold pressure based fuel limiting, low crank case vacuum shutdown, hot engine water and low lube oil pressure shutdown.

When driver notch up the engine, notch signals are transferred from MBCS to Engine Governor through GVA, GVB, GVC and GVD wires and LCR (Load Control Rheostat) signal is transferred from engine governor to MBCS through 3 wire i.e, LR. LCR signal range is from 72 V to 0 V. In normal condition of the engine (under-loaded or optimally loaded), the LCR voltage is 72Volts, when the engine is overloaded, the LCR signal will vary to maintain the engine rpm by increasing the LCR voltage up to a maximum limit of 0 volts.

Present system of interfacing of the engine governor to the MBCS of EMD engine is given below-

Proposed Interfacing of EUI system with microprocessor controlled EMD locomotive

Block diagram of proposed interfacing of EUI system with the microprocessor control system of EMD locomotive is given below. 74V DC supply from the locomotive battery bank is given to DC- DC converter through MCB installed onto the DC-DC converter box. Engine notch signal in form of four bit binary signal (through four wires) from the MBCS through locomotive terminal board is given to the ECU interface box, which goes to the ECU for further processing. Microprocessor based control system in EMD locomotive is an AC-AC traction control system. It supports standard SAE J1708 which utilizes hardware RS 485 transceivers. Communication protocol with ECU will be mutually worked out in consultation of OEM of traction control system.
